Hey guys, sorry if this has been addressed already, but I've been searching off and on for this for awhile. I finally took the time to read through that 60+ ptt post in the hermes forum but didn't see anything.
I've installed sleuth's PTTFix cab, but lock and unlock don't seem to be in the list of "apps" to choose for button 6. Is there any way to add the lock/unlock feature to the buttons menu, or is there a separate app to do it perhaps? I would love to be able to press the PTT button to lock, and then press and hold to unlock. I have a relatively dirty job and touching the screen after getting a text message is just too painful. I don't like spending 10 minutes cleaning the screen every time I have to tap that unlock key.
Anywho, I've been a Tilt owner for about a month so far and I love it. This forum is why I chose the Kaiser and I love the feeling of community.
Cheers!
I've been looking around for a few days and I still can't find anything on this. I would even love something to make it a one button unlock, or even two buttons, as long as I don't have to touch my screen.
Anyone have any ideas?

i would like to be able to make one of the buttons on my xda mini lock and unlock the device is this possible i cant see that option in button configs its just i like whats on my today screen i just dont like having to scroll down to lock the device i dont want to remove anything from my today screen except the device lock/unlock line
sorry mate, this is not possible. we have all tried and searched, but there is no app to be found that is responsible for the today plug-in and can be bound to a button. probably the device lock is in some.dll file, but we cannot extract it. I use Mortsaver from www.sto-helit.de and bound it to a button.
although that is true (there's no app bound to it), there -are- two solutions that invoke the plugin. One needs it to be on the Today screen, another does not;

I use DeviceLock (second of the two links from ZeBoxx's post) and like it a ton. I removed the Device Lock Today item and mapped the DeviceLock program to a hardware button. If my Wizard is locked it shows up where the softkeys are, otherwise, its unlocked. Saves a line in Today Screen anyway...
thanks for the tip guys! I was looking very hard for this when I first got my Wizard, but since results didn't come, I forgot about it. I use the second one as well, saves a line in the today screen which was too small to hit accurately with my thumb anyway! Thanks!
Hello
I am a new owner of an att tilt. I believe it is the same as the tytnII. I am looking for two cabs to install on my phone.
1) a cab that lets me assign a button to switch between vibrate, silent, and ring. I found vibra switch, but it does not include silent.
2) a cab or program that allows me to assign a call log feature to a button. I use the call log quite frequently on my old phone.
Thank you for anyone that can give a newbie a suggestion
Adam
both of those can easily be accessed without cabs.
1- if you have the htc home screen, just press on the symbol that looks like a phone with a music symbol beside it, and it'll give you the option of switching profiles
2- just click the green talk button and then press up on the dpad
want the button press
Thank you for the response.
I have not tried htc homescreen yet. It appears to have a large clock and a tab system of the today screen that I am not fond of. Am I able to leave the today screen basically like it is with that program?
Also I want to be able to map these functions to a button. The reason for this is for easy access while driving. I feel a button press and using the jog wheel is a lot more accurate and requires less attention.
Thank you

I'm interested in remapping the ok button (the one on the side, below the scroll wheel, not the one below the end key) to rotate the screen. However, I can't seem to find out how to do anything at all with this button. Can anyone help?
i'd like this also.
I'm wondering if maybe this has to be done within the registry?
i remember reading in a thread before this that the remapping was not possible for that OK button... but i am not sure i could be wrong
try hbutton. it lets you map about anything to the hard buttons. you can map multiple programs to one button too. i use it to map the OK button to close a program, open htc audio, and screen rotate.

if you are referring to the ok button on the front of the kaiser, i remapped that button to rotate the screen from; settings>buttons. i am, however, using a sim free htc tytnII. this may not be available in the network branded versions. hope this helps.
sorry misread your post, you were talking about the side one. doh! no i couldn't remap that one either.
at this moment no one can really find the registry for that button. people have tried, i read about 3 posts that had people trying and they were unsuccessfull
i am still also interested in getting that button remapped
AE button plus will remap the side button, except if you are on the today screen, where a press of the button will bring up the start menu.
i currently have it to turn off the phone, since i friggin hate how htc made the real power button so flush with the body, so that if i'm on the today screen, i press it twice quickly to power off the device. the first press brings up the start menu, then the second press will take the focus off the today screen and implement your action. likewise, hitting the side button will turn off the phone if i'm in any sort of application or anything non-today screen.
and mapping this buttom also maps the keyboard ok, so now i'm suddenly without a keyboard ok button
What exactly is this Side Ok Button for anyways? It doesnt act as a confirm button
I would also like to remap the OK button to rotate screen. When I am using Garmin I like to have it rotated for cradle and visual purposes.
Also, don't know if anyone ever noticed this. I have polarized sunglasses, and when my phone is facing up and down like in portrait mode it is not as bright as it could be, but i rotate it like it is in landscape mode and I can see perfect with them on. Weird!
Let me know if this doesn't work out. I wrote apps for the Universal once to assign to any key. But that was a long time ago. I'm sure better solutions exist now.

You can do it for sure with SPB Pocket Plus & the Shortcut Add-in/Plugin.
I actually made an action sender for this purpose, for another button, but if I get some time , I'll pull out my old work & look.
But SPB PP does allow it for sure. You can map two of anything to that button, one for press & one for press & hold.
Anything new on this?
I've tried some different things...still nothing.
another bump...
bump it up again...anyone know how to remap the OK button (forget the rotate screen)?
Guys,
Anyone know a way to tweak the time needed for the long press of the end key to take effect and lock the keypad?
At the moment it takes too long holding it down before it kicks in so it would be great to reduce the time and make locking the handset a bit easier.
Thanks
Al
Perhaps have a look in the registry??...i woudlnt know myself which entry it may be but hopefully bumping this up...will get someones attention.
Personally i use my long key press to kill off my data connection...
Also searched for the key in the registry, but i didn't found anything yet..
I have exactly the same wish. Nobody any idea? Com on registry specialists

Is there any other way to lock the keypad apart from the long press?
I'd quite like to change my long press to 'Disconnect Data Connections' - but dont want to lose the ability to lock the keypad.

If you use advanced config and start it up...go into menu and comm settings..you can specify how long your connections stays on till it disconnects automatically. So you can use the button for locking the phone.
Or you could go into your battery settings and under advanced...specify how long you want the phone turned off ie locked if its not being used..goes from 40 secs to 5 mins.
Dont know if that will help but its the only thing i can think of.
I am also searching for a way to shorten the delay for both phone buttons. I would need about half the time...
I have the solution! At least, I'm satisfied with it.
Install AE Button Plus on your machine (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php). It's not free, but it took away a lot of my annoyances lol.
You can assign multiple functions to any key. The way I've sorted it out now, is that a long press on the disconnect button shows up a TF3D menu, a double press brings up the Start menu and a triple press locks the device. And my triple press is definately faster then pressing it and holding it till it locks lol.

Are we talking about the on/off button on the top of the Diamond here? I only ask because I thought I`d set it to `Disconnect Data Connections` but it still will only turn off the phone.

It's unusualy long delay...
it is really too long. tweak is needed immediateli
c'mon developers run....
+1 same wishes here.

+1 Needed ASAP
There has to be a tweak for this.....
HastaSSSS
I'm giving this a little bump.
It's a WM bad thing, not the only one
Wait for WM7 or install AEButtons

hold time is too long
to lock my diamond I set long press on Lock Device, and create a shortcut under the home touchflo with the path EndKey.exe
it's the better solution I have found to lock the diamond quickly
I hope it's clear....!
These two programs have been killing me lately. The biggest problem (and the one I didnt see anything on when I searched) is with S2U2. My problem is that pressing the end key on my Verizon Touch Pro seems to stop S2U2 and puts me on the home screen. This is a problem because I installed S2U2 so that I wouldnt accidentally call people when the phone is in my pocket. The only reason I posted this is because I accidentally called someone today because of this problem. Is there any fix that will stop S2U2 from ending when the end key is accidentally pressed? Right now I am locking the keys using windows built in key lock and then using S2U2. This takes much more time than just pressing the power button and letting S2U2 kick in when it wakes up. If I could get the built in keylock to kick in on wakeup also or if I could get S2U2 to not respond to the end key, my problem would be fixed.
My second problem is with HTC's Task Manager in the top righthand corner of touchflo. Every once and awhile it will just disappear. I searched for this and came up with a couple of solutions that didnt work. I tried checking and unchecking the box in the buttons section that says "Enable quick menu on today screen." The only way to get it to reappear is to do a soft reset. Thats really frustrating. So is there any real fix for that? If not, what would you suggest for a replacement task manager that blends in with touchflo? I really just want something simple like HTC's task manager where it shows my tasks in a drop down and I can exit out of each one just like I do now. I really like how HTC's task manager is setup, but I cant deal with it disappearing.
